Basic Steps of Software Configuration
The Remote I/O Manager software provides a simple default configuration that you
edit to match the actual system modules. The default configuration consists of a
power supply (PWR001) and an NIU (either a Genius NIU or the NIU that was
saved last time the software was used). Carriers and modules are then added in the
same sequence as the hardware installation.
The basic configuration steps are listed below.
S Configure the rack type (non-expanded, single-ended expanded, or multi-rack
expanded). This automatically adds the appropriate types of expansion modules
to the racks.
S Configure the power supply type and any booster power supplies and carriers.
S Configure the NIU. This includes changing the NIU type if necessary, and
assigning its parameters as described on the next page.
S Configure the expansion modules if the system has expansion racks.
S Add module carriers and define wiring assignments.
S Place modules on carriers and select their parameters. Configurable parameters
of I/O modules are described in the VersaMax Modules, Power Supplies, and
Carriers User’s Manual (GFK-1504).
S Save the configuration file so that it can be stored to the NIU.
For step-by-step instructions, please refer to the Remote I/O Manager Software
User’s Guide (GFK-1847).
